Dilated Peoples - '20/20'

A Rapper’s Delight?
 
How I Got Into This Music
One of my first discoveries at Last.fm.
Thought I’d give some new rap a listen..

Tracks that got my attention:
Back Again
Got all excited when I heard this track! Easy, laid-back raps, grooves and beats. Kinda like Kanye West, but then likeable.

You Can’t Hide, You Can’t Run
Great sample and scratch work here from DJ Babu. A little remix work and this track’d work on any dance floor!

Alarm Clock Music
Old School feeling, sometimes a bit lackluster, sometimes a bit energizer bunny.

Rapid Transit ft. Krondon
Works fine

Eyes Have It
Stronger track, great lyrics

One and Only
DJ Babu cuts his stuff very, very well: love it! Sugarhill feeling mixed with Jurassic 5, can’t put my finger on it

Conclusion
Hmm.. Doesn’t impress for me, just three or four tracks really working for me. The rest of the tracks border on the mediocre and predictable. DJ Babu does make a difference on some tracks and Back Again and You Can’t Run, You Can’t Hide are incredibly strong tracks.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (not my cup of rap..)
